The last episode of Dune: Prophecy's first season had everyone buzzing with many questions left in the air. They dropped a whole bag of plot surprises, and we can't wait to unravel them all. Alison Schapker, let it slip that Season 2 is going to be about whether the Sisterhood makes it or not.
This show is the backstory to Frank Herbert's massive Dune universe, and it's mostly about the Bene Gesserit, who are like these super interesting ladies with their big secrets. It's got everyone hooked, and we're dying to know what will happen with Desmond Hart and who he is. It's like Game of Thrones but with more sand!
The surprises in the final episode, like finding out Desmond could be a weapon and that some mysterious enemy is after the Sisterhood, have set up epic battles. Dune: Prophecy keeps us on the edge of our seats with all sorts of drama, from the world of the Corrino Empire's politics to those thinking machines.
For Dune: Prophecy Season 2, these three main stories must keep going!
Is Desmond Hart a puppet or a threat on Dune: Prophecy?
Desmond Hart's survival and the new powers he's picked up suggest he's not just some random player in the universe's game. The fact that he can resist the Bene Gesserit's Voice and turn people into crispy critters from the inside out shows he's broken all the rules of Dune's lore.
And let's not forget that big twist in Dune: Prophecy Season 1 finale. That gizmo in his head, put there by a thinking machine, might not just be giving him his powers. It could mean he's being played like a fiddle in some cosmic science experiment.
People are curious: is Desmond just a pawn in the hands of those thinking machines, or is he something more? There are all sorts of chatter, with some pointing out a potential connection to the Bene Tleilax, known for playing mad scientist with genetics.
As one theory from Cortex Videos goes,
“Desmond’s vision of being implanted with a fear virus positions him as a weapon against the Sisterhood.”
In the next season, Dune: Prophecy needs to dig into this grey area and see if Desmond can take the reins of his fate.
What will the fate of the Golden Lion Throne on Dune: Prophecy be?
Things are heating up in the Corrino Empire. Now that Javicco Corrino has passed away, his daughter Ynez is stuck on Arrakis, and Theodosia's been outed as a Face Dancer, the throne is basically up for grabs. Some folks think Empress Natalya could bring everyone together and calm things down if she takes over.
She's got a knack for uniting planets. But, with power – people get jealous and start plotting. So, other groups within the empire might not be too happy about her getting the top spot. And let's not forget about those pesky outside forces, like other noble houses waiting for their chance to stir up trouble.
The future of the Golden Lion Throne is anyone's guess.
In a press release, Schapker hinted that,
“Political alliances and betrayals will shape the empire’s future.”
Regardless of whether Natalya is taking charge or a fresh face making waves, Season 2 needs to look into this volatile situation.
Theodosia’s origins on Dune: Prophecy and the Tleilaxu connection
Theodosia’s change from being a typical Sisterhood novice to a mighty Face Dancer has shaken things up in the story. She might have gotten these powers from some secret Tleilaxu experiments. This makes us wonder if she's got a bigger part to play with that shadowy group.
At the end of the first season of Dune: Prophecy, we find she can change her face and more, which is pretty shocking. Hints about who her parents are might make us question her role in keeping the Sisterhood safe.
As Deadline reported,
“The Tleilaxu’s introduction could pave the way for even darker themes in Season 2.”
Theodosia's story is deep, especially her connection with Valya. To make our experience of Dune: Prophecy even better, we need to learn more about her past and why the Tleilaxu are doing what they do.
Dune: Prophecy Season 2 will only be on HBO and Max.
